June 23, 2018 Weight this morning 162.5 BP 132/88 I just got back from a 12 mile bike ride. I weighed after getting back and I was 160.5 and I took 1/2 a BP pill this morning and my BP was 96/72. Crazy ... now I'm drinking some water to replenish what I lost on the bike ride. I was going to lay down...

June 20, 2018 Weight 164 BP 138/88 earlier it was 120/78 I've been eating more lately, 500-800 calories/day. Seeing what it does. Looks like a bit of a weight gain, but that should start back down as the old body adjusts. There ought to be at least a 1200 calorie/day deficit or a couple of "tru...

I noticed a couple of days ago my legs were retaining water, It was obvious because I'd worn my socks to bed and my ankles and feet were normal but above my socks my legs were bloated. Last week I'd had some cramping in my calves and I used that for an excuse to add salt to my food. So I cut the sal...

Yes Cblasz and Sassy1 , I agree it is hard to put oneself in the shoes of someone who is so obese that their day to day health is severely affected. He said to me yesterday, "You know me. I've been fighting this my whole life. I was overweight in high school." Which is true. He is on a hun...

Well ... despite linguine biscaiola for dinner, I came in at 106.4 kg this morning. For anyone who's bothered with my blog you'd know that means I can now change to the next radio station down the dial (106.5FM) on my car radio. Yay. So sick of 2SER FM. Only someone in Sydney would understand. Call ...

American, here! I'm starving today. Just ate a small meal about 90 minutes ago, I'll get another 200 calories after I get home tonight, and in the meantime, there's always coffee to blunt my appetite. What is it about feeling true hunger that makes me so happy? I think it's because I appreciate an a...

107.0lbs which is within the maintenance range of 105-110lbs so :cool: Watchful waiting it is :) Like most people, I'm happiest when I see particular sequences and I prefer to see at least 3 105.x - 106.x lbs in a week but that hasn't happened since mid-February. The bright side is, I've stopped han...

I wonder what the dose of C and E were. I'll look for the original article when I get to work. "... We evaluated the effects of a combination of vitamin C (1000 mg/day) and vitamin E (400 IU/day) on insulin sensitivity as measured by glucose infusion rates (GIR) during a hyperinsulinemic, eugl...
